I wanted to get all of the relevant manuals printed up for my booth.

We have the Strong AP-3 platters with "phase control"

I saw a manual in the "Warehouse" listed as Strong AP. It has a variac.

Would this be the best manual to print?

Thanks,
Carey

All strong platters use a variac
the phase control only refers to the payout control plate

SCDC and DMC platters don't have variacs as far as I know (OK the tables do).
and yes you want the AP parts and operation manuals.
Note that there have been several changes to the platters and makeup tables over the years, so if you need parts be sure you are getting the ones that will actually fit yours. The electrical connectors and the table belt particularly.
Does anyone have payout parts lists to add to the archive?
